"Girlboss," "The Get Down," and "Sense 8" are some of the most recent to be cancelled.

"Girlboss" has been canceled. Some viewers are surprised and disappointed, detractors are far from shocked. But with the recent elimination of other beloved shows like "Sense8" and "The Get Down," the decision has many fans in search of 13 reasons why.

Take, for example, Kyle C, who took to Twitter to point out one alarming pattern: the canceled shows all represent some of the streaming service's more diverse offerings.

Other users also found the cancellations worrisome.

While some might point the finger at Netflix, however, the company's leadership has remained transparent about its decision-making process. In short, if a show is canceled, it's because it just didn't perform well enough in relation to its ultra popular counterparts like "House of Cards" or "13 Reasons."

"Our hit ratio is way too high right now," Netflix CEO Reed Hastings told CNBC in May. "So, we've canceled very few shows… I'm always pushing the content team, we have to take more risk. You have to try more crazy things, because we should have a higher cancel rate overall. Because then, what you get is you get some winners that are just unbelievable winners, like "13 Reasons Why." Over the last three months ["13 Reasons Why"] has been a big hit for us. And you know, it surprised us too. I mean, it was a great show, but we didn't realize just how it would catch on."

Netflix's new mentality is simple: a show might have a cult-like following, but if it's not bringing in record-breaking views, it's headed to the chopping block. This is an understandable and intelligent way for a company to run. The question that remains, then, is why these more diverse series are falling flat, and the answer may be simpler than you think: poor viewership to budget ratio.

Of the 10 most expensive shows Netflix has funded, four of them are among the six they've gone on to cancel. Unfortunately, "The Get Down's" hefty $120 million budget and "Sense8's" similarly sizable $108 million budget seem to have done them dirty. They represent two of Netflix's top three most expensive original series of all time.

We're all for remaining wary of problematic business practices, but instead of calling out a company for doing good work, shouldn't it be heartening that it has invested significantly in two of its most diverse series?

Netflix has begun making decisions like traditional network providers, and that's a hard pill to swallow when your favorite binge-watch goes bye bye. But this time around, it seems they're just trying to stay smart.
